About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Since the arrival of COVID-19, people have come to realise that mental health is a crucial component of an individual's well-being, which goes beyond just good physical health. This new condition has restricted movement, changed our relationship with our bodies and conditioned our every day actions, with still unclear consequences on our emotional balance and mental health. Being an educational project, the activities will involve mainly workshops with the 3 target groups other teams have already worked with in the previous editions of HCG and make conclusions about the whole project by using media.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be hosted for two weeks in the city of Altamura, where the host association Link is based, in a flat that they will share with the other volunteers. In the other two weeks, the participants will be hosted in the city of Ginosa, staying in a similar shared flat as in Altamura. The volunteers will be responsible for the daily transport from the flat to the place of activities, while the association will provide the transfer from one city to another. Each volunteer will be entitled to a daily money amount and they will have to provide their own meals.

🎒 Leisure activities

The hosting organisation provides support and training in the area of social animation, intercultural education, antidiscrimination education, communication and non-formal methodology. Given the extended stay, a basic Italian course will be provided participants so that they can manage their life in the city and the activities with the locals. For the creation of the mural, volunteers will be supervised by a reference figure who will introduce them to the basic artistic guidelines.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The project envisages the participation of 10 young people aged 18 to 30 who have an interest in developing activities in the information sector aimed at citizens in order to raise their level of knowledge and awareness with respect to health and well-being issues (connected to the post-Covid and in general). HCG encourages the participation of young people with fewer opportunities. By "young people with fewer opportunities" we mean all those young people who for various reasons do not have the opportunity to participate in long-term projects. It is possible and desirable to host volunteers who have participated in the previous team of the same project. Priority will be given to participants from Italy, Greece and Romania.
Deadline: 31/07/2024 12:00

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
